Finally made my mind up about the new anemone. Put it in and it stayed exactly where I wanted it to. Now just gotta get those clowns to go to their home lol. I also put a safety screen over the wavemaker just to be safe, in case the anemone decides to move.

What's up everyone that's still following along with me. Got a few exciting updates. Since all the family kids are older, this year we decided to do a family trip instead of gifts. We ended up in Kissimmee Florida. About twenty minutes from Disney World, and about 40 minutes from..... Wait for it.... WORLD WIDE CORALS!!! Needless to say I stopped by there and realized that I wasn't prepared at all lol. The store, the staff, and OMG the tanks and farm. I was literally speechless. I took some pictures but they aren't the best. If anyone that's not local to the area gets the chance to visit, I highly recommend it. Here's some pictures and a quick video.

As much as I planned to buy some coral from WWC while I was down there, I thought about it very hard and realized that it probably wouldn't have been the wisest thing to do to be able to ensure the safety and survival of the coral. Oh lol, I forgot to mention that we drove. Yup, from Indiana to Florida lol. Google told me 16.5 hours. But even with stops for gas and food, I managed to shave almost about an hour and a half off of that time lol. (Just keeping up with traffic lol)

Once I decided that I wouldn't be attempting to transport live corals in the car otw home, I also decided that I wouldn't leave WWC empty handed lol. If you've been following, you'll know that I've been looking into integrating a controller on to my tank. Well here we go. Here's my semi-official intro into the Hydros controller world. It's not on the tank yet, but I took it out and got it connected to my homes Internet. Now I just have to get the courage to pull my equipment board out and get everything mounted and connected.

That place is awesome. I actually traveled from there with a handful of coral, a foxface and a sea cucumber about 5 years ago. We flew from Orlando to our home town of Midland TX. There are special rules for TSA for traveling with aquatic animals, it went really well and had no issues. Total travel time was probably a little less than yours but it could have worked. The staff made sure to pack everything well for the trip.
